Hi, I'm new here and was wondering if anyone had any good recommendations for graphic novels. I read quite a few and was hoping to find something new and different from some of you.
Some of my favorites this year have been...
Scott Pilgrim, Vol. 1 Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Life
Blankets
Wonton Soup
North World Book 1 The Epic of Conrad
Of course, I'm all for superhero books too.
Thanks!
Lawrence Block's Burglar series is my favorite. I've also recently started reading the Mr. Monk series which is a lot of fun (and better than the tv show in my opinion). Both series are certainly not thrillers though...more lgiht-hearted detective books. Both fun and funny.
